IVE years ago this company produced the first Gas Arc 
Lamps. Today the same lamps are giving as efficient 
service as when first installed. | During most of this time we 
have had our manufacturing facilities taxed to the limit to 
keep pace with the demandsupon us. Our plant has been 
repeatedly enlarged, and our types of lamps have been varied 
along conservative lines. 

In producing new designs we have endeavored to create 
something that will supplement and round out a gas com- 
pany’s lighting facilities rather than supercede former pro- 
ductions of proven merit. It is not our aim to make 
lamps that will merely cater to momentary fancies as regards 
style and shape. We believe that the best interests of the 
gas business are conserved by fewer lamps of standard con- 
struction, and work to this end. 

While it is probably impossible to make a better lamp 
than our standard original indoor design, we realize that some 
variety is desirable, and we believe that the new types shown 
herein will supply this demand without complicating unduly 
the stock-keeping account of our customers. 

Inquiry is frequently made regarding the production ot 
an Inverted’ Arc along the well known lines of Humphrey 
excellence, and in response we are pleased to be able to an- 
nounce that two years of unremitting experimental work 
finds us with that problem solved, and we believe along such 
practical lines as will give gas companies enormous advantage 
in certain fields of lighting, and while we hoped to be able tuo 
show this form of lamp in this catalogue, we have at last de- 
termined not to do so until prepared to put them on the 
market commercially. Our money is and has been spent 
freely in this work and we are inclined to think that others 
who are rushing incomplete and hastily assembled lamps 
on the market are experimenting at the expense of the trade. 

All Humphrey Lamps will continue to bear our uncon- 
ditional guarantee of mechanical and illuminating superiority.

JASE COLTER AR AD Ne) 


O those who have actively engaged in the gas business 
during recent years it is needless to say much by way of 
introduction to a catalogue of Humphrey Gas Arc Lamps. 

Progress in gas sales, energetic and well directed manage- 
ment, and the Humphrey Lamp have been so closely allied 
that one suggests the others. 

Yet in so rapidly expanding an industry as the gas busi- 
ness, new men must be constantly recruited, and to them we 
will briefly sketch the history of one of their greatest weap- 
ons against all competition in the lighting line. 

When the Humphrey Gas Arc Lamp was placed on the 
market, it was the first practical and economical high power 
gas lamp ever produced. Its success was immediate, no gas 
appliance ever met with such extraordinary appreciation and 
phenomenal sale. 


TOR Ee Ca eS eGAS ee Ce OnVin es Hos le Dee IN, 


HE field for the Humphrey Gas Arc Lamp brings it 

into direct competition with the Electric Arc. 

In our opinion at no time could the Open Electric Arc 
Lamp be fairly said to be a good or even practical light for 
indoor purposes. It is but fair to state, however, that the 
“‘ Incandescent, or Enclosed Arc,” is a good lhght, and when 
pushed with energy has no difficulty in displacing in stores, 
etc., the ordinary gas fixtures and other forms of individual 
incandescent gas lights with their unclean or broken chimneys, 
misfit bunsens, carbonized mantles, costly maintenance, and 
inconvenient methods of lighting and extinguishing. 

And it is with the Humphrey Gas Arc Lamp only that 
this competition can be successfully met. We claim superior- 
ity over the Electric Arc as follows: 





More Actuat Licur. Greater in volume and _ has 
not the thin appearance of the electric light. 

BetreR Cotor. SHADOWLESS. STEADIER. REQUIRES 
Less ATTENTION. 

Cost or Licut To ConsuMeErR LEss. 

First Cost or Lamps InsTALLED TO Gas COMPANIES 
is Mucu Less. Prosasty Asout HAtr THE CosT OF AN 
Exvecrric Ligut to ELecrric CoMPANIES. 

The fact that we are selling thousands of these lamps to 
Companies having combined plants we believe substantiates 
our claims. 

During the past five years the Humphrey Gas Arc 
Lamps have been in constant and direct competition with the 
best forms of electric lighting, and Gas Companies by their 
means have been able to stay the stampede to electricity and 
to preserve and regain their most profitable source of income. 

They are to be found in use in practically every city in 
the United States, and in many cities in proportional numbers 
to the city of Chicago, which alone has 50,000 Humphrey 
Lamps in regular service. 

They are also to be found in use in every civilized 
country in the world, and up-to-date Gas Companies every- 
where, instead of wondering how to resist encroachments, are 
now the aggressive ones. 


SMALL LIGHTING UNITS VS. LARGE 


VEN in the face of this wonderful record, well meaning 
and sincere gentlemen of more scholarly attainments 

than actual experience in the commercial department of the 
gas trade occasionally rise in the councils of their brothers and 
descant profoundly on the scientific superiority of small light 
units in commercial gas lighting. Others whose aims cannot 








ot 


be urged as disinterested are busily engaged in an attempt to 
spread a similar propaganda. We have no quarrel with the 
scientific arguments of our erudite friends or the thinly veiled 
advertising of merchants with other wares to sell. 

Small unit gas lighting conditions however are practi- 
cally the same now as before the advent of the Humphrey 
Gas Arc Lamps. Gas men as able and ingenious as ever 
graced the profession then fitted single lights in all conceiv- 
able combinations, maintained them at highest efficiency re- 
gardless of expense and lost out against the ever advancing 
electric light. What hope of better success today? The 
higher power single burners have been tested and found 
wanting; the one mantle inverted burners for commercial 
purposes have all the disadvantages of the upright lamp and 
some objectionable peculiarities of their own. Humphrey 
Gas Arc Lamps, self lighting, reliable, convenient, economical 
and efficient fulfill the requirements of the business man. 


LENG AeA TelsOsNs eAyNgD

AS Companies install and maintain Humphrey Lamps in 
various ways. We have obtained data from nearly 
every Gas Company in the country, and we find that the 
ones who get the best results are those who retain ownership 
of the lamps, install them free, or on a small monthly rental, 
and maintain them at a cost to the consumer only sufficient 
to defray the actual cost of maintenance. 

A special booklet containing fac-simile letters from Gas 
Companies, showing copies of leases, maintenance blanks, etc., 
will be sent any gas company on application. 

But whatever system of installation any Gas Company 
may adopt, whether the lamps are sold outright to the 





customer orare installed on a monthly rental basis, it is of the 
greatest importance to the gas business that each company 
should maintain the lights, replace broken mantles, keep the 
glassware clean and see that the lamps are always in working 
order, the same as an Electric Company does. Once this 
system is adopted, Gas Companies will see their Lighting 
Business grow most wonderfully and will always have stores 


which are beautifully lighted and a credit to the Gas Industry. 


INGE Wie Bee ole Nae 


T has been repeatedly stated to us by managers of Gas 
Companies that they consider the earnings of a Gas Arc 
Lamp during a year to be fully equal to the earnings of a 
Gas Stove. This statement we know to be practically true, 
and it goes to prove what we have always maintained, that 
Commercial lighting is the very cream of the Gas Business. 
Gas companies who have pushed the stove business the 
last few years fully appreciate the increased consumption 
which has resulted from their efforts. But much of the bus- 
iness was obtained at considerable outlay for mains and _ ser- 
vices which were run hundreds of yards to get a few new cus- 
tomers, while the great business of Lighting stores and 
factories in the center of the city with the mains and con- 
nections all ready, has been neglected.

way. Every article in this catalogue except glassware and

ter of repairs at a future date. 

Our factories are all equipped with the finest facilities 
for doing work right. Humphrey Lamps are made of the

up the lighting end of it. The ownership of this com- 

pany is represented by owners in more than forty prominent 

gas companies. We have tried to make such goods as in our 

estimation would assist the gas company to increase its sales, 

and are constantly placing in the hands of our customers data 
calculated to serve this end. 

The conditions governing the variation in style of burn- 
er, size and number of gauzes and orifice of gas ways to be 
used, the control of the pressure and the problems generally 
arising from the differences in combustion of various gases are 
fairly well understood by most gas men. We have however 
made many and exhaustive experiments under all kinds of 
situations and when we are furnished with data covering de- 
tails of manufacture and distribution as they exist in the vari- 
ous cities, we furnish lamps equipped to meet them. We in- 
vite and are always ready to respond to any inquiries which 
we may get regarding these matters and we will cheerfully 
send a representative where the difficulties are not readily 
understood and overcome.

HIS isthe original Gas Arc Lamp that revolutionized the 
commercial gas lighting business. Improvements in 
details of construction have been made from time to time and 
it is a thoroughly up-to-date lamp. The metal work is all so 
shielded by the glass that deteriorating effects of heat and 
combustion products are practically avoided. This design 
continues to be one of the best selling of our entire line. 
We guarantee all four burner lamps to give as great or 
a greater amount of light and a much more satisfactory illum- 
ination than the so-called 2000 candle power electric arc, with 
a consumption of 16 to 18 feet of gas per hour. 

These startling results are obtained without the use of 
chimneys. The grouping of the mantles around the central 
supply pipe preheats and greatly expands the gases; the pecu- 
liar construction of the burners effects proper and complete 
aeration of the gases, thus greatly increasing the efficiency of 
combustion and economy in amount of gas used. 

The mantles will not carbonize or blacken when burners 
are clean and properly cared for. 

Indoor lamps may be supplied with the one mantle night 
light. This was especially designed as its name implies to 
allow the use of but one burner as an all-night light in busi- 
ness houses, and the equipment of any store should include 
one lamp of this style. For places where 
the full power of light is not required at all 
times, such as upper floors, stock rooms, etc., 
this lamp is very useful. Light from all 
the mantles or from only one may be had as 
wanted by a pull of the chain. 

The small corner illustration shows 
lamp with one mantle in service.

FACTORY LAMP 


"TBE Humphrey Factory Lamp is the result of a careful 

study of conditions in our own and many other shops. 
It meets a long felt want and solves the problem of eco- 
nomical factory illumination. 

In the construction al] glassware is eliminated except the 
globe. The Canopy, Reflector, and Globe Holder are all 
made of steel, coated inside and out with porcelain enamel. 

Ninety per cent. of all dust and dirt accumulating about 
a lamp in a work shop drops from the ceiling as a result of 
jars from the floor ‘above or vibration of shafting, etc. The 
Canopy fully protects the interior of the Factory Lamp. 
The bottom is closed in as much as is practical in an up-draft 
lamp. 

The special burner construction permits all dust to pass 
through to flame where it is consumed. 

The lamp is extremely durable, efficient and handsome, 
and after long use needs only to be dusted to resume its 
original appearance. 

In factories where jar and vibration prevail we earnestly 
recommend the use of our all metal Anti-Vibrator; thisis shown 
in cut but not included in price of lamp. 

The Humphrey Factory Lamp is not a cheap piece of 
work but a high grade article built for its special purpose and 
will find its sale among careful buyers where quality and 
efficiency are the determining factors in a purchase. 

Can be supplied with one mantle night light if wanted.

N the Cylinder style of lamps we are able to use a more 
compact construction and to a great extent abandon the 
large ceiling plate. 

Combustion efficiency is improved by the draft inducing 
cylinder which has been carefully proportioned to get just 
the right effect. 

All Humphrey Indoor Gas Arcs are instantly lighted 
simply by pulling the chain, and extinguished as easily. The 
burners are ignited by means of a small pilot jet burning but 
a few feet of gas a day, which in convenience and time saving, 
pays its cost many times over. 

Humphrey Lamps will replace electric arcs, light for 
light, with the most satisfactory results in point of illumina- 
tion and a saving in cost of 25 to 50 per cent. 

For low ceilings where it is desirable to use the 16-inch 
ceiling plates either of opal glass or enameled steel we supply 
a sliding collar which fits over ordinary 34 gas pipe and may 
be fastened by a set screw at any height; this forms the sup- 
port for the ceiling plate holder. 

Cylinder Lamps are used either with or without Jower 
shades and with round or pear shaped globes of clear or 
alabaster glass. In view of the many combinations of glass- 
ware regularly supplied with these lamps, we particularly urge 
our customers to be specific in stating just what is wanted. 

Polished nickel is the standard finish for this lamp, but 
wrought iron black or dead black and copper can be furnished 
without extra charge; oxidized copper is nota satisfactory fin- 
ish on cylinders.

LL metal finishes are more or less susceptible to heat and 

atmospheric conditions. Those we employ are the 

most enduring but in certain corroding environments they 
will in time be affected. 

Porcelain enamel resists practically everything and in our 
enameled cylinder lamps the purchaser has a range of choice 
as to color effects and the certainty of durability. | 

White and gold, green and gold, blue and gold, black 
and gold lamps all are meeting with a constantly increasing 
sale despite the fact that in this catalogue they are illustrated 
for the first time. 

When it is not especially necessary to deflect the great- 
est possible amount of light downwards the reflector shade 
can be dispensed with. Without the shade the lamp makes 
a very handsome appearance and on that account is preferred 
by many users. In such casesa pear shaped globe, (alabaster 
preferred) should be used as its enlarged upper part acts as a 
reflecting surface throwing down an appreciable amount of il- 
lumination, it also makes a more symmetrical appearance. 

Large numbers of nickel lamps are also used with pear 
globes and without shades.

HE Humphrey Outdoor Lamp has opened practically 

an entirely new field of opportunity for the sale of gas. 

Gas Companies have not been slow to appreciate this and in 

the past year outdoor lighting business of all kinds has been 

developed amazingly. We have special literature dealing 

with this subject so will not enlarge upon it here, but hope 

that all who are interested will give us the privilege of ex- 
plaining fully the great possibilities in this line. 

Experience has shown that brass, copper or any other 
unprotected metal will not stand the action of the heat and 
the elements which an outdoor lamp is subject to. After 
much investigation we have found that certain grades of steel, 
when coated with a special heat resisting enamel fused to the 
metal in a white hot muffle, will meet the exacting conditions 
of outdoor gas lighting. 

The lamp is lighted by a turn of a key, no chain to 
tempt mischief makers to light burners when not wanted. 
The key is detachable and may be removed entirely if 
found desirable. 

Globe can be instantly lowered to put on new mantles by 
simply pressing springs in bottom, or removed to clean by 
pressing other similar springs. The sliding rods carrying 
globe support move in gas tight casing, doing away with any 
necessity for stuffing boxes. 

Lamps are storm and bug proof. 

The parabolic reflector shown in the small 
illustration will throw all the light in one direc- 
tion and is highly to be recommended for certain 
classes of lighting.

HE Humphrey Residence Lamp is an artistic fixture 

adapted to modern conditions of incandescent gas light- 
Inga, eAllethe objectionable features inherent in old style long 
arm chandeliers are eliminated. The lamp is compact, dur- 
able, convenient. The light is strong but this can be soft- 
ened with fancy shades of glass, silk, or beads, so as to har- 
monize with any surroundings. It makes an ideal light in 
the parlor, sitting room or over dining or library table. 

All parts are quickly removable for cleaning, same as in 
the large Ornamental Arc shown on page 28. The 
ceiling canopy is of sufficient size to be effective without be- 
ing cumbersome or unsightly. A pilot light ignites all the 
burners at once. Consumers will find the small amount of 
gas required by the pilot will scarcely be noticed in the gas 
bill and that its use will be such a positive convenience as to be 
well worth many times the cost. When it is desired to have 
but one mantle lighted, a slight pull of the chain will extin- 
guish other burners. 

The regular finishes of brushed brass, oxidized copper, 
wrought iron black will match almost all the usual metal 
work of a home, but special finishes of any kind will be 
made at a small extra cost. 

When not otherwise specified lamps are shipped with 
opal shades and '4 ground bowl glohe as shown herew?th.

HE extreme popularity of the regular commercial de- 

signs of Humphrey lamps has resulted in a call from 
exclusive stores for a different pattern of lamp, something 
that would not be seen in a majority of business houses. 

Churches, ?Rublic Halls, 7 Lodge Rooms," ctc.; shave 
wanted a more decorative fixture; for all these, as well as high 
class stores, the Ornamental Arc is recommended. 

Lamps are finished in brush brass, wrought iron black, 
or oxidized copper. Colored glassware same as shown with 
the Residence lamps is carried in stock and greatly enhances 
the attractiveness of the Ornamental Arcs. 

The bracket which holds the reflector shade is hinged at 
the top and held in position at the bottom by a spring which 
needs only to be pressed to release it, thus making the re- 
moval of the shade for cleaning a very simple matter. The 
globe holder is held in place by a spring which permits globe 
to be quickly taken off. Ceiling shade or canopy 1s 
glass with the new pattern rolled rim. Each lamp 
has the one mantle night light feature.

of which, for this purpose, is for-

OR window lighting, billiard tables 
and all places where a strong 
concentrated light is needed we recom- 
mend our 18 inch silver glass reflector 
made in two depths, either 9 inches or 
(} inches. When standard lamps are 
especially ordered for window use we 
fit them with a°1Q-inch lower pipe to 
bring the globe well under the reflect- 
or. With cylinder lamps no especial 
fitting is required. 

Full ground or alabaster globes will 
often be found desirable on lamps over 
billiard tables where the rays otherwise 
would be too strong for the players’ 


eyes. 





VENTILATING WINDOW LAMP 


HIS lamp was originally designed for one 

of the large metropolitan gas companies 

to use in enclosed windows. A nickel plated 

flue pipe should be carried from the lamp out 

through the top of window enclosure and pro- 

ducts of combustion discharged into the main 

body of the store, where the ventilation is ample 
to care for it without inconvenience. 

As shown, the lamp is supplied with an in- 
verted valve above, the pilot tube being carried 
down beside the main supply pipe to its usual posi- 
tion. Cords are attached to the operating 
chains and carried through pulleys in the ceiling 
to any accessible point. ‘These lamps are also 
made with the regular valve and lower chains. 

In the use of this ventilating lamp the sweat- 
ing of windows is largely avoided as is also the 
overheating of goods on display which is some- 


times a serious obstacle to the use of gas in small 





enclosures.

KEENLY appreciating the ex- 


treme importance of a first- 





class mantle for use with the Hum- 
phrey Arc Lamp, we have a mantle 
made after our own specifications which we unhesitatingly 
recommend. Repeated tests, both in laboratory and actual 
practice, have shown that this mantle is equal to and in many 
cases better than the highest priced mantle sold for arc lamps. 
By placing orders for very large quantities we are enabled to 
get low prices and as the mantles are resold at practically no 
profit, gas companies can be assured of a higher grade article 
than the manufacturers themselves can afford to supply at the 
price we quote. Our only idea in regard to mantles is to in- 
sure the use of the best goods as a means of encouraging the 
use of Humphrey Lamps. 
Humphrey Mantles are extra strong, have large heads 
to readily admit the center support fork, and skirts are special 
size to fit our burner cap.

N the remarkable development of outdoor gas lighting 
which the improved Humphrey Outdoor lamp has made 
possible, the illumination of store fronts by means of lamps 
suspended from ornamental posts set at the curb has proved 
exceedingly popular. We can refer to individual installations 
of thirty to forty posts used in lighting up corner locations in 
some of the larger cities. In other cities improvement asso- 
ciations have used this method of drawing attention and trade 
to their particular locality. 

The post we offer is of strong, handsome construction, 
an ornament to any place. Its dimensions are fully given in 
the line drawing on the opposite page. The curve top sec- 
tion is fitted with a 34 inch gas supply pipe centered within 
the outer casing so as to be insulated from cold. It does not 
show in our illustration but is always supplied. 

Posts are made either with the ornamental scroll work 
or with simply a plain curve top. Dimensions are same for 
both. 

The base should be set in concrete, care being taken not 
to get any inside the post or in contact with the gas service 
pipe on account of the liability to transmit frost. A flanged 
base can be furnished for bolting to walks that are excavated 
beneath.

N the following two pages are shown a variety of Globes 

and Shades. More detailed description will be given 
in the separate net price list. 

Nine-inch Globes are used on all 8, 4, 5 and 6 burner 
indoor lamps. We have them in two shapes, round and pear, 
the latter being favored for cylinder lamps without shades. 
Clear Globes will pass more light, but Alabaster is preferred 
by many on account of its power to soften the light without 
a great deal of diminution in volume. 

Eight-inch Globes are used on Standard 2 burner in- 
door lamps. 

Eleven-inch Globes are used on all outdoor lamps. 

Nine-inch Bowl Globes are used on Residence Lamps, 
10 inch Domes or Reflector shades, and 9-inch Canopies or 
Ceiling Shades. 

Large Ornamental Arcs take 12-inch Bowl Globes, 1334 
inch Domes and 14-inch Ceiling Shades. Domes for both 
fancy lamps are same shape as the 17-inch Reflector illustrated 
and Ceiling Shades same as 16-inch Roll Rim Shade.
